Last May, 27-year-old Icelander Hafthor Julius Bjornsson — renowned for his role as "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane on the HBO series "Game of Thrones" — won the World's Strongest Man competition.

At 6 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing more than 390 pounds, Bjornsson eats eight meals a day and lifts literally tons of weights.

His meals consist of lean meats, grains, vegetables, and healthy fats found in avocados and peanut butter.

He's said: "I eat quite healthy for a big guy ... but you get sick of eating all the time. Today, I was supposed to have chicken with sweet potatoes and greens. Because I didn't want that, I had salmon. We have very good fish in Iceland."
